but first yemen's capital is on edge just a day after the ousted president ali abdullah saleh was killed by his the rebels his funeral is expected to begin shortly in the capital sanaa and hours after that to his is to hold a victory parade the killing the man who went from their ally to their enemy overnight saudi led airstrikes have targeted the presidential palace in who they controlled sunnah for the first time since the conflict started in twenty fifteen or yemen's internationally recognized president avid robin mansour hadi has ordered his troops to advance against the youth is on the ground and as solid as supporters demand revenge the international community is calling for calm including the u.n. which wants a pulls in fighting in order to deliver aid him to as tired has the latest. yes the killing. has plunged yemen into even more uncertainty the ousted president

would be in a dominant political force for over three decades was killed in an attack led by who the fighters on monday had been in an alliance with the iranian backed rebels for more than two years and his death sparked intense fighting on the streets of the capital sanaa. the clashes were ongoing the entire night until the morning if someone stepped out into the street or fled they would have a bullet hit them in the head chest or body. and an easy calm has returned to the city which salis forces and the who these jointly controlled and fought against the saudi led coalition which supports the internationally recognized government led by months or hardy but the partnership collapsed last week leading to major confrontations after days of running street battles salah announced he was ready for dialogue with the saudi led coalition if it ended its blockade of yemen's ports and airports and allowed for more humanitarian aid shortly afterwards he was dead

in response heidi has urged yemenis to rise against the who the forces. and i call upon all of you with an open heart and a strong will to turn the new page and to get rid of such a nightmare let's put our hands together to end the control of these criminal gangs and to build a new united yemen. so the who pushed out how these government in january two thousand and fifteen and set up their own administration prompting the saudi led campaign against them since then the country has been split between the who the rebels in the north administration in the south and forces loyal to saleh. to his death could mark a turning point and the conflict getting worse a conflict which has already killed nearly ten thousand people but yemen to the brink of mass starvation and triggered what the unite. nations has called the world's worst humanitarian crisis we remind all parties to the conflict that

deliberate attacks against civilians and against civilian and medical infrastructure or clear violations of international humanitarian law may constitute war crimes. a former military officer became president of north yemen in one thousand nine hundred seventy eight after a coup and in one nine hundred ninety when the north and south reunited he was elected as the first president of the newly unified country he was ousted in two thousand and twelve during the arab spring uprising that managed to stay in the country and wielded considerable power behind the scenes solid ones like in his involvement in yemeni politics is dancing on the head of snakes and while it's not yet clear who will succeed him or what his death will mean for the fighting on the ground or the future of yemen one thing appears certain is nearly three year war is unlikely to come to an end anytime soon. al-jazeera our let's talk to hakim. his editor of the yemen place he's joining us live from the yemeni

capital sanaa now in the in the days leading up to the death of. the people of well being under threat from from the air the air strikes from the saudi led coalition as well as on the streets on the ground because of the clashes between ali abdullah saleh forces and the who says so what is the situation in the capital now. yemen is so unpredictable forty years ago next president saleh was the most powerful person in the country and be who these were fearing defeat and two days later he's dead been killed right now that the entire country is mourning. millions of people are mourning his support his popularity is unimaginable right now and his funeral will take place in about twenty minutes so it's expected to be a very large funeral where the entire or hundreds or thousands will be there. from

around the country right now security wise the country is in on high alert the streets are so on high alert checkpoints everywhere in sanaa but the crisis right now is with how do you go forward is what happens with silas parties yemen's largest party they lost seventy percent of the leadership. by just the last three days so they're complete chaos right now. a deep crisis within the party so right now out there we gather in this group and then after the party we gather it will be clear what their stance will be adjourned alliance with the u.s. ok he came hold on just a moment because it was good moment for us to look at the possible successes and to . sally and his people's congress party now ahmed abdullah sally is one of his sons and that he's unlikely contender for the top job he's a former commander of the yemeni army is republican guard but he's been under house arrest in the u.a.e. for more than four years then there is silence nephew yes mohamad abdalla sally

he's a former military commander he pledged allegiance to sally is rival only internationally recognized president abbott rebel mansour hadi and the from within the party itself this yes i'll awadi who is the main senior leader left following the deaths of sally and his deputy on monday said coming back to you then how came he do you think is the man most likely to take over the leadership of this movement. to me it cannot be one of saddam's family members it cannot be his son or his nephews and most likely the it will go to the sea oh how much for a duel with lost had came. from sana. but yemen is likely to be high on the agenda of the go the g.c.c.

summit is about to get underway in kuwait. i'm being told actually that we can we've reconnected now with came welcome back i'm even even starting to tell us something interesting about what you thought or who you thought was most likely to take over the helm oh. ali ali abdullah saleh policy it's clear that it cannot be solved his nephews or son yes they will be very influential within the party but most likely the senior. they will take the lead or take head of the party. over the next week or so. his whereabouts right now are known he's in sanaa his house situation is he's injured lightly injured but he is expected to take lead within the party because of his influence within the party nationwide and also within the parties those who are opposing and those who are

with so most likely as i'll be will lead this with a lot reduce the influence of the solace family his son will still be very influential especially me to tell you why is his nephews will still be very influential but politically yes i will be my take leader over the next couple of days or weeks maximum. all right hacking thank you very much indeed. well as i mentioned earlier yemen is expected to be really high on the agenda of the g.c.c. summit that's about to get underway in kuwait as well as of course the g.c.c. crisis itself that's been six months now since three member states cut diplomatic and trade ties with fellow member qatar plunging the region into its worst standoff for decades we go live now to kuwait city and our correspondent there is jamaal el shaddai al jamal we've seen the foreign ministers assemble for the the the preamble if you like to the summit proper who has arrived who's there and who

isn't. well so far it's not looking promising a chill for the summits after there was some limits of the optimism at the beginning when the six member states agreed that they would meet in kuwait or maybe try and find a break in the impasse that's has been caused since three member states began their siege of blockade of qatar back in june the reason why it's not looking promising is because behind has decided to send essentially a third rate diplomats or third level diplomat the deputy prime minister so not even the king or his. deputy right now the saudi plane has just landed and instead of there being one of the royal family they've sent their foreign minister to represent them so it is very clear that this summit will not yield of those positive outcomes that we saw but to talk a bit more about that i'm joined now by dr margaret. from qatar university you have

been following the g.c.c. crisis really closely in fact living gets really what is your assessment i was through what's been going on in terms of why is it that we're seeing such low level representation from these countries well it's really not expected to see such a low level of representation from the locating countries there was assurances at least by the saudis that the king himself will be attending the summit and this actually made the kuwaitis quite optimistic about holding this summit as a kuwaitis wanted to actually delay the summit until there was appropriate up with the nation and there could be achieved some goals out of the summit but the initial agreement that the king will be attending gave that up to mystic hench to the kuwaitis and made them actually go ahead with this summit as announced and they were gunsmoke by this situation now i mean that the saudis have sent basically

foreign minister as he said that they would be prime minister for the bahamian. these are going to send their state minister for foreign affairs it seems like that locating countries wanted to send a message to kuwait and that message was that we do not respect your mediation efforts we do not care about your. political will and political. patronage here and therefore we are going to boycott this beyond the message to which what message does it send to the g.c.c. as an institution not only because of the snow level representation but also because we just heard today an announcement the united arab emirates and saudi arabia have agreed to set up their own coordination committee which will focus as according to the statement by will focus on military economic and political relationships outside of the g.c.c. is this the end of the g.c.c. it seems like there is an intention by the saudis and they are mad at these specially with the timing of this announcement today to say that the d.t.c.

is effectively date and therefore their stablish in this. alliance and in the region which will be basically outside the scope of the g.c.c. and this means that if they are going to have this military and political alliance it's going to be against the g.c.c. as a whole we are surprised that i was not even mentioned and this and i was meant by it is a clear now that the iraqis and saudis had no intention of supporting stability in that he had no intention of supporting mediation efforts and had no intention of ending this crisis one way or the other what happened in yemen last week and the way that the media from the begin to look at it countries and the official statements came out it shows clearly that there is a need on their part for escalation and to show that that discussion actually has guns on the floor. thank you very much for your time the opening session is expected to start in the next couple of hours we're still waiting for the. home of

true arrive as well as represents. that arab emirates we do expect that to be a low level minister the opening session is going to be a public one so we will hear statements at least from the amir of about one hundred job at us about whether that will focus on trying to again maybe strike some sort of optimistic or promising tone or maybe it will be critical of the way in which some of the member states have not reciprocated the advances of korea to try and find a mediation of or we'll wait and see but it's very important to know that we're now hearing just very quickly we're hearing reports of maybe the summit rather than being a true day summit because of the lack of representation would actually wrap up today so even more maybe dampening choose those optimistic expectations in a more realistic as a mystic negative outcome to a summit which is so crucial to salvaging what ever can be left or whatever's soldiers salvageable rather from a tattered g.c.c.

or right now. live in kuwait city well let's look a little bit more closely than what the g c c is its purpose and its history its a tight political or it was at least a tight political and economic alliance of six countries in the arabian peninsula bahrain kuwait oman cata saudi arabia and the u.a.e. was established in one thousand nine hundred eighty one with the common links of islam and arab identity his headquarters are in riyadh so it was set up to be a unifying force but even before this year's crises have been serious disagreements over egypt for example during the arab uprising of the twenty eleven saudi arabia the u.a.e. and castle were seen as backing different sides they also supported different factions impose gadhafi libya where there's been years of instability and then in twenty fourteen saudi arabia the u.a.e. and bahrain they withdrew their ambassadors from doha they accused of supporting

the muslim brotherhood political movement and that dispute took months to resolve. now we can talk to our correspondent rob matheson rob matheson is there he is in the omani capital muscat and rob amman is very interesting isn't it a because it it maintains always a neutral position on any of the disputes that affect the g.c.c. and it has done so this time hasn't it. that's absolutely right and i'm very distinctly did not take part for example in the south dakota led coalition and the fighting in yemen and it has taken and it continued to have an independent stance as it always has had when it's come to diplomacy with in the middle east the news that's coming out of kuwait about the summit is going to be very very disappointing for the for those people in amman because they were really hoping that the cohesion

of the g.c.c. was vitally important that the it was extremely vital to their their existence within the the middle east and their positioning within the middle east and their diplomatic issues that the g.c.c. should remain unified and clearly it looks as though from what jamal was saying that is possibly not going to be the case it's fair to say that here in amman they've been looking at the coates summit with more hope rather than optimism just very briefly let me give you an idea of why this is so important to amman to the northwest it's got borders with the u.a.e. to the west it's got a border with saudi arabia to the southwest it has a border with yemen and to the east it has a maritime border across the strait of hormuz with iran and that places it right in the center of two of the most powerful structures that have existed in the middle east the g.c.c. on the west side of the arabian gulf and iran. on the east side it has

a very fine diplomatic line for decades as a result of that positioning and that means that all monies we've been talking to are also very concerned not so much say about the economic benefits that oman may be getting as a result of the blockade of qatar but more importantly they are concerned about the cohesion of the g.c.c. about the g.c.c. sticking together so that that balance is maintained we've been talking to some of them and here's what they've had to say and that's mostly. the crisis is especially since the world is heading towards unity unfortunately we're divided in some ways but we have many things that could bring us together at the golf summit and white we hope that they will focus on unity instead of things that divide them . we in qatar saudi arabia kuwait u.a.e. and behave are one family this crisis caused many problems because the brothers

have moved from each other i hope our leaders will reunite the g.c.c. . we ask god to reunite arabian gulf countries like a summer cloud this will go on everything will be fine sometimes we disagree but we will return to unity we ask god to remove this crisis and. well that some of that gentleman was talking about just their looks as though it's much much bigger than everybody might have been expecting the question is now what role if any can oman play in the negotiations it's very much played. public role so far kuwait has been taking the lead in the negotiations but there is still a role oman believes for it to be able to play in these negotiations one significant issue that it faces however is the fact that it has those links with iran even if a man is able to come up with some sort of solution some sort of workaround to move

this process forward it may not be accepted by the remaining members of the g.c.c. who regard iran as one of the fundamental problems in the dispute in the g.c.c. . roberson live in muscat and from the cornish of amman we can go to the coney share in our and our correspondent there is mohammed val mohammed so it is almost six months exactly now since this blockade of cattle was imposed i'm afraid we seem to have lost no we've got him back we've got an unstable lines a bear with us but mohammed six months end of this blockade how has fared i'm afraid we don't seem to have a stable connection with mohammed val we're going to go away from him and try to stabilize that line and go back to him a little bit later but in the meantime still to come on this al-jazeera news hour demonstrators across catalonia called for the release of praise the session its

leaders plus. i'm joined now at the ford apart from in greece where they're searching for any sign that young refugees stowed away will be struck trying to board ferries bound for it's a. day with cricket has opened up the slimmest chance of saving the second ashes test against australia joe we'll have the details coming up and spoke. with. the u.s. president donald trump is under increasing pressure not to unilaterally recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel by moving the u.s. embassy there from television the turkish president tire bedouin says the move would be a red line for muslims the french president emmanuel mccrone told mr trump in a phone call that the status of jerusalem must be decided in peace talks between

israelis and palestinians saudi arabia has also weighed in on it some bassa to the u.s. says the move could heighten tensions in the region other arab states have also warned president trump against moving the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem israel claims jerusalem as its capital but that's not recognized by international law. let's go live now to kuwait city and we can rejoin the g.c.c. summit that is just about to get underway there you see the cattery emir arriving to take part in this summit we're not entirely sure how long this summit is likely to last our correspondent earlier suggesting that a slight amount of disappointment on the part of some of the countries mean that it might just last for one day rather than the two days as was originally shared joad but there you see shaikh tamim arriving in kuwait city.

returning then to the story the story of the u.s. president who is apparently considering moving the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem this is calls all sorts of messages of opprobrium from around the muslim world harry forces has been gauging what the mood is in jerusalem itself. changing the status of this consulate here in jerusalem to an embassy was one of the key campaign pledges as far as donald trump's foreign policy went during his presidential campaign it has though butted up against the realities of the political situation here as he also tries to implement tries to come up with a peace plan that would be suitable to both sides his key man on this jared cushion his son in law said on sunday that the americans understood the palestinian red

lines that president trump was examining all the facts before he made a decision on whether to move the embassy from tel aviv to here but now we have this other potential major obstacle as far as the palestinians are concerned an announcement on wednesday which could see the united states whatever the status of this consulate in the short term recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel the palestinian president mahmoud abbas has said that that would threaten the entire peace process as an issue. i don't think that this will happen the arab and muslim world should stand against it. when trump says something like this he should take responsibility for the consequences this is not just the palestinians this will spill over to other countries that's very much the reaction coming from the palestinian leadership as well that this would not just threaten the peace process also it would threaten stability in the wider middle east privately palestinian officials are also talking about this potentially being an opportunity

a way to break with the united states before any trump plan is announced and reset the nature of the relationship between the u.s. and the palestinians but if that is the case it doesn't seem to be an opportunity that they're really welcoming given how hard mahmoud abbas and his team are working to try and head off this decision before it happens there have been all sorts of bilateral contacts with other powers in the region of these i mean conference the arab league there is a huge effort to stop donald trump from making this announcement on wednesday now all eyes are on washington to see what happens and what the consequences of it might be. greece is taking increasingly desperate measures to try to get into other parts of europe many land borders were closed when they. made a deal of the migration last year jonah hill has this exclusive report from the port of greece on the dangerous reality of human smuggling

the sea crossing from greece to italy can take days and this is no way to do it hidden in cargo containers or clinging to wheel arches just inches from certain death. all those people are trying to hide under or inside the car. and for them. life. for all the hundreds of thousands of times that. these trucks the success rate is infinitely small for all the effort for all the risk involved it is a largely due time act. like i was on the top are going to go three guys out because another driver informed me that there were immigrants around you saw what you'd already. told in the days and found three hours.

in the past year after the borders of europe were closed to refugees the greek port authorities say they've seen a four fold increase in the numbers perhaps a thousand a day trying to stow away aboard ships bound for italy. most are discovered with a simple search. those better hidden i detected using x. ray. but most of them myself. the few lucky enough to actually board a vessel will face similar searches by the italian north or it is at the other end . but there's no deterring them in most cases they'll be released to return and try again. allie from our has made dozens of attempts. to date yeah. more than once a day. his companion vanished describes not being

beaten by the police to me. why you are coming here. the problem here. he me and stick he kicked you and he meet you with a stick yeah stick. pretty swollen out he shows us a bruised and swollen ankle. in just a few hours we've watched more men than we can count in this mad dash to freedom and what they imagine is a better life somewhere else. but nothing prepares us for what happens next his face close to the tarmac it's alie the man we met earlier from his shower . i was a doctor here. you were yeah yeah yeah i was a doctor a doctor who says his life was threatened by the taliban whose journey by air to

iran road to turkey and by foot to greece has brought him here he really has no choice but to try again jonah hill al jazeera at the port of the truss greece. now the un's head of political affairs has arrived in north korea jeffrey feltman seen here departing from beijing becomes the first senior u.n. official to go to pyongyang in six years tensions have been on the rise again after north korea tested what it described as its most powerful missiles yet the u.s. and south korea held large joint drills shortly afterwards. and a couple of minutes we'll have the weather with rob also coming up on the. hill they need medics and teaching refugees how did they would be many first aid cases within the camp. and the man on the track is frozen in time. we'll explain all inspired.

by the skyline of. horror off the coast of the italian riviera. now sentiment train including the italian riviera has been exceedingly wet this last month or so and there are still floods in for example albania this is in the western side of floral laura i think it is pronounced now the rain has now stopped as you can see it's going to take a while for things dissipate in fact all the actions moving further east as the satellite reveals particularly to turkey in the immediate future that's probably going to produce a certain amount of rain but in the very near future is going to be snow and the high ground recent turkey to head towards the euphrates ending up to a meter of snow seems likely a what is pretty obvious to think about it a cold front that cold front is now on the edge and it's gone beyond your it is

cold air to virtually everyone including the south of spain the small island of minorca for example thousand now in the dry which is a rare event but although most of europe will still see this cold prevailing of the next day or so was just coming back up into the western side of your particularly look at the temperature in london eleven degrees is the forecast for wednesday and contrast that is what's happening further sat for an anchor but it gets more of a contrast well tom gets the following day thursday fifteen in the rain but nevertheless it's pretty warm. the weather is sponsored by cattle and race. road trip across west africa on a mission to redefine a continent too often misrepresented. the weapon of choice to digital cameras. it was one little venue for dug up takes on the rainy season on its quest for the.

story of creative government rather invisible war this this time on al-jazeera and. on. u.s. and british companies have announced the biggest discovery of natural gas in west africa but what to do with these untapped natural resources is already a source of heated debate nothing much has changed they still spend most of their days looking forward to form a dry riverbed like this one five years on the syrians still feel battered or even those who managed to escape their country have been truly unable to escape the war .

the right time for a look at the top stories here on the out is there a news out delegates are arriving in kuwait for a crucial go from it with yemen expected to be high on the agenda this is the scene live in kuwait city now this meeting comes six months after three g.c.c. member states cut diplomatic and trade ties with cata plunging the region into its worst crisis for decades saudi led coalition air strikes have targeted the yemeni capital sanaa hitting the republican palace for the first time the killing of yemen's ousted president ali abdullah saleh has plunged. war ravaged country further into chaos. now president trump is under increasing pressure not to unilaterally recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel by moving the u.s. embassy there from television the turkish president roger type edda one says the

move would be a red line for muslims the french president emmanuel macro told mr trump in a phone call that the status of jerusalem must be decided in peace talks between israelis and palestinians saudi arabia has also weighed in on the s.c. and its ambassador to the u.s. says the move could heighten tensions in the region other arab states have also warned president trump against moving the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. a bomb has exploded on a bus in the syrian city of homs two people were killed nine others were injured it happened in the a crumb or neighborhood of the government held city lebanon's cabinet is meeting for the first time since it was plunged into a political crisis after prime minister saad hariri offered his resignation last month he announced he was quitting while syria and then stayed in saudi arabia for

two weeks let's go live now to the lebanese capital beirut and our correspondent there zain a harder. first of all what is the status then of the prime minister saad hariri is he is he imposed store is he not. well he did call for this cabinet meeting and what we are expecting is an announcement following the end of the session and what we're expecting to hear is the prime minister would drawing his resignation there really has been a lot of consultations meetings over the past few days the rival political camps sitting together trying to iron out some sort of a compromise reached a consensus on the issue of lebanon's so-called disassociation policy suspended his resignation two weeks ago saying that he would give time for consultations but he has the mandate is that lebannon renews its commitment to this this is a policy which in effect means that lebanon doesn't get involved in conflicts outside its borders unclear reference to hezbollah so how do you and the different

rival camps seems to have reached some sort of a political agreement we are going to hear an announcement that there are you know indorsing the disassociation policy but they're also going to be defining exactly what that means whether they're going to say staying out of the conflict between saudi arabia and iran or non interference in arab affairs we're expecting those those words it will give some sort of a guarantee to heidi the for him to withdraw his resignation and always waiting to hear from hezbollah and obviously because hezbollah has got to agree to whatever deal they've come up with. well yes because like i mentioned this is disassociation policy is in reference to hezbollah it has fighters in in syria it has fighters in iraq and it is being accused of militarily being militarily involved in yemen we heard from the minister one of the hezbollah ministers a short while ago saying that hezbollah you know respects this agreement but what they agree upon is very different than what will be implemented we've heard this

hezbollah secretary general say that his forces will be pulled out of iraq because the government there is soon to declare victory over i so we've heard the president was a close ally of hezbollah say that hezbollah will be pulling out its fighters from different countries in the region once the battle against isis is over so we're hearing those statements but the question has been as political opponents are asking but what guarantee do we have that this time around hezbollah will do this but what is clear martin is that the lebanese political parties want some sort of stability there is a consensus to leave these divisive issues aside and to move forward because at the moment the political opponents of hezbollah have little leverage to force hezbollah to implement what they want all right thank you for that zana harder live in beirut . now spanish charges withdrawn arrest warrants against the else of catalan leader bridge to monitor and four of his former cabinet ministers they'd fled to belgium after the catalonian parliament unilaterally declared independence from spain

protests is in cattle lonia meanwhile have been protesting to demand the release of other former leaders being held in spanish jails campaigning is underway for regional elections to pick a replacement government for catalonia the previous one was dissolved by spain's national government. a special session is being held by the human rights council in geneva to talk about the dire situation being faced by the ranger of any m r and over the border in bangladesh where many of them have fled the violence the un describes what's been happening as textbook ethnic cleansing let's go live now to our correspondent charles stratford who's had a field hospital in kenya near could a power long camp in bangladesh and what have you seen and heard then about the situation over the range of people there.

well where do you start i mean the kind of testimonies and allegations being made by basically everybody we be speaking to in recent days in these camps are frankly horrific i mean just start with some of the stuff that there was a human rights watch that's been saying in its latest report testimonies from women it saying they were gang great that they witnessed their husbands and their children's that their children killed again the myanmar government continues to deny these kind of claims but as i say the people we have spoken to consistently describing some of these horrific attacks we spoke to one young girl eight nine years old we actually spoke to the man that witnessed her being shot so he says close range she took three bullets one in a right arm one under a left arm and one in her leg incredible that she survived the young boy that she was in the boat with so the witness claims was shot dead in

a ballistics expert who has been looking after her says as i say all evidence suggests that she may well have been targeted. at as i say close range another group of people we spoke to from a village called shop hala. interesting that things seem to be pointing towards some sort of systematic attempt by the myanmar military to clear these villages i would say we cannot in any way independently verify this in the myanmar government has denied access to any kind of independent investigation in that area thus far but we spoke to a couple of men both who were suffering from. bullet bullet wounds bullet injuries they said that they faked death and they said that they saw groups of men separated from the women one man saying that the group could be anything up to two hundred men he said that he saw them then being made to lie down and was shot dead or machete to death another my. and said that he saw the women separated from the main

two groups of women one group was led into a field so he says and those women were gunned down another group of women were taken away to a school and he said he had no idea what happened to them these kind of allegations are consistent and are horrific but it seems unlikely that there's going to be any kind of proof until as i say to me and my government allow some sort of independent investigation meanwhile the challenges in the camps continue a challenge to get enough humanitarian aid and medicine to the more than six hundred twenty five thousand people that have a right here since august one organization an australian voluntary group is actually training refugees now to administer basic basic medical aid to the refugees living in far off areas of the camp away from the roads because people are reliant on ambulances on these roads to get them to the

limited amount of field hospitals we've been speaking to some of these volunteers and this is our report. twenty two year old mohamad you legal fled with eight members of his family into bangladesh in september when the myanmar military and buddhist groups attacked their village. muhammad's one of a growing number of refugees being trained in basic medical and rescue skills when a straight involuntary organization. if i can it would only go back to man and i would like to you with my training to help people there. in these skills. with aid agencies so focused on meeting food and sanitation needs for the refugees there's often not enough medics to provide basic health care or get to refugees living far from field hospitals. well then six hundred twenty five thousand ranger have come across the border in recent months i think for the approximately four

hundred thousand who were living in camps already from previous military crackdowns . rights groups say myanmar soldiers killed hundreds of civilians in gang raped women as they swept through rigging job religious after attacks by revenge or rebel group in late august the reality is the medical services based along the main service through to the main right at main sit the refugees who live quite far out and you know we're talking three three four kilometers away from the main word on able some on able. capable of making it through those services sorry if we can train that medics locally who are embedded into the community not only can they treat some of the small law i'll miss and your own illnesses and injuries but they can also you transport the ones that need hospitalization muhammad and his team set off to make their first rescue accompanied by their trainers they've been told an elderly man has suffered a back injury around twenty minutes walk away. is suffering severe pain in his

lower legs he can barely walk the medics think he may have injured his spine. as the volunteers prepare the stretcher other refugees gather around them asking for medical help seven month old mr keene has dislocated his hip if it's not treated he may never be able to walk so the volunteers are taking. to the nearest road so he can be taken on to a hospital that just aren't enough medical workers to treat the sick in this camp the volunteers are being trained to work in an area where we understand there are around one hundred thousand families living. having fled for their lives in myanmar they now trained to save lives in the place they are forced to live. now nine million people are being killed by pollution every year as we poison our planet like never before that's what

a un environmental conference in kenya has been told delegates from all one hundred ninety three un member states are there looking for solutions namely how to reduce the amount of waste plastic the choking our waterways all over the world more than eight point three billion tons of plaskett plastic have been produced since nine hundred fifty and most of that is still around because it's often used once and thrown away about eight million tonnes of it ends up in our patients every year which is the equivalent of a dump truck of plastic waste every minute now this is creating huge areas of so-called plastic soup masses of waste floating around the world in it so one day the world's oceans may have more plastic in them than fish or let's go live now to that conference taking place in the kenyan capital nairobi our correspondent is catherine soy if things very much as a despite all of the pollution issues that confront us today that the delegates at

this particular conference have decided to focus on plastic waste. absolutely martin and there is a resolution that is expected to be formalized tomorrow and i did speak to a member of the nowhere journey a delegation norway has sponsored this resolution and she said they had to be very careful with the framing of this resolution and with the wording as while she said that we don't expect it it's not a treaty it's not a protocol but basically what it is proposing is broadly to start what they are calling a committee of experts to draw on the different member states to govern the money to the east. also look into gaps and regulations as well the resolution also proposes

a mechanism to morny how much plastic is out there how much is being dumped so basically at the end result of this what this is aimed to do eventually is to have sort of a binding agreement perhaps international a nose around plastic waste there is no timeline to this martin but the reason i realized like you mentioned in that introduction the reason realisation that this is a serious crisis that needs to be dealt with argentine market and our. viewing the problem because when it comes to climate change of course there is a big distinction isn't there between the developed economies and the developing economies i'm wondering if that rift is apparent in this particular gathering. that's a big conversation going on my team and they're not just talking about classical pollution the talking about all aspects of pollution be. talking about having

exclusive green environment talking about. you know can be cool and means always like lead which is a big problem and naturally as well and a lot of. talk to here because big decisions are going to be made about those kind of producing a lot of delegates that i've talked to here saying that really beyond this resolution's beyond this big decisions there needs to be concerted effort there needs to be action heads of state and ministers when they go back to their home countries they need to implement this so because without this political will then you know everything goes to waste and the african delegates of talk to as well say that africa is challenged because you can't talk about dealing with pollution without talking about poverty eradication that is the number one priority so they are also saying. it needs to be more international intervention when it comes to africa and dealing with pollution. all right kevin soy live in nairobi thank you.

still to come here on the news hour is decision day for olympic officials as russia's participation in the winter games is on thin ice we'll have the details.

it's found in the schools use well his joe thank you so much will russia's winter olympians will find out on tuesday if they're going to the games in pyongyang in february or if their country has been banned the international and the committee is due to make

a decision later on whether to bar russia for doping violations so far the team has been stripped of eleven of its thirty three medals from the sochi games it hosted four years ago russia denies having a state sponsored doping program where the i.o.c. has never imposed a blanket ban for doping it's only banned certain sporting federations like russia's track and field team who were allowed to compete in rio in two thousand and sixteen but the winter olympics are different because the allegations against russia a far more serious now the i.o.c. has already banned twenty five russian athletes for doping at the last winter olympics in sochi a blanket ban would have a huge impact on sports traditionally dominated by russia including ice hockey now with the n.h.l. already withdrawing its players it could mean teams like latvia finland and slovakia could excel and a ban would hit some of russia's young stars even though there's no evidence to suggest they've done anything wrong eighteen year old of ghana if kenya. is a double world champion figure skater and

a gold medal favorite but depending on how the i.o.c. sees it even she could be left out in the cold now our sports correspondent leigh welling's joins me now from london and the it's a tough position for the i.o.c. to find themselves in it isn't it. it could barely be more difficult for thomas park and the international olympic committee who have to make this decision having fully read the report to die whatever they do it's not going to please a lot of people it's about as difficult as it can get apart from of course i want a similar position last year with rio when their decision didn't satisfy a lot of people then but they have to take a call what kind of options do they have a war they do the same thing as i did in where i would put it down to federations individual sports to make the decision which seemed horribly unfair so why ask like i'd let expose for rio to do that would they do that to winter sports it's an option but it's not a great one nor is a neutral live at the games where some russian athletes are allowed to compete but

not as russia because that would actually potentially anger putin and russia and then there is the possibility of a boycott which is when the last things the i.o.c. want to happen there could be some drama ahead with this one do they just go for a complete ban well the precedent that they've set is that they don't tend to want to do these things but it's there as an option will there be brave enough there are sympathizers on the i.o.c. board as well it's going to be a nightmare for them to the i would certainly send that quite clear message when it to anyone who wants russia's position been in all of this. well remember we had some very strong words from the vice president for the world cup draw. last week the world cup football of course takes place next year in the country and he used that stage in that spotlight to launch an attack on all of russia's detractors many of them in the media and you could see that he had one eye

because of course there are allegations of doping russian football but he had to have one eye on what was going to be happening with the i.o.c. his decision to kind of almost make it look like russia in some ways being victimized now really sends out the message from russia come right down from the other near putin that actually they are watching what happens to die and they are very to hit back hard with what the i.o.c. sides so it's such a nasty situation for everyone to be in all right lee thanks very much we'll come back to you when we have that decision a little bit later on but for now that's it from lee wellings in london. in the cricketers are batting to save the second ashes test against australia in adelaide their bowlers managed to get the hosts all out for one hundred thirty eight in their second innings james anderson finally found his rhythm taking five wickets for just forty three runs but australia's lead is still significant their advantage

as they held a challenge from milwaukee. school nineteen of a team high thirty two points in the second half offsetting a forty point nine the bucs youngest editor combo one hundred eleven to one hundred was the final school. the same bolt and bronze are not usually two words that go together but to mark his retirement this sprinting legend has been honored with a bronze statue outside jamaica's national stadium in kingston things didn't go quite to plan though the invading with the sheets covering the statue refusing to come off but with a little help from the jamaican prime minister the eight foot sculpture of bolton his trademark pose was eventually revealed the one hundred two hundred metre sprint to one of the spikes in august with eight olympic gold medals and eleven world titles. now monday we showed you how the demolition of the old detroit lions stadium went wrong well later that day the house was finally brought down the second attempt the demolition company originally said that the faulty was led to

some of the charges failing to detonate in the first a decaying building is being pulled down and detroit officials are hoping the site will convince amazon to build its second headquarters and generate the city writing . all right that is reasonable for now i have no feeling joe thank you very much indeed without to from joe and from me for this out is there a news hour but don't go away so how raman will be here in just a minute also with another round of the day's.
